Usually not interested in stats, Ben Roethlisberger can't wait to reach this obscure milestone

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has always been a guy who doesn't much care about stats or milestones.

They just don't interest him as much as winning.

However, Roethlisberger is sort of obsessed with an approaching milestone, and it's not the milestone of becoming the Steelers all-time leader in passing yards.

"I know I am only a couple yards away from rushing for 1,000 yards. That's a little cooler to me," Roethlisberger said

With 44 yards rushing, Roethlisberger will become the 43rd quarterback in NFL history to surpass 1,000 rushing yards.

Roethlisberger has 956 yards and need 13 to pass Neil Lomax, 44 to reach 1,000 and 47 to pass Fran Tarkenton

I can only speak for myself but I love it when Ben runs the ball. It keeps the D on their toes. He doesn't do it a lot but I love it when he does.

With Tarkenton's rushing numbers, are there different "official" tallies depending on whether sacks are counted as negative rushing yards? (I know the sack wasn't official until 1982, but I'm sure someone has crunched the old numbers.)

He's too old and senile now to make any sense now. :old: Plus, he was like 4'11" and 125 lbs. Took way too many shots on that puny body. :chuckle:

Looks like the problem is that the "official" stats don't count anything before the merger in 1970. Add up everything from 1970 on and he has 1,002 rushing yards. Although more like 3,600 total. What a rip.

Do advertisers really think those annoying video pop ups work? I tend to avoid sites that use them alot.

Thanks for the reference BTW
